## Resource

Portland’s new police accountability watchdogs are sounding the alarm over a controversial budget move that could drain funds from their office to shore up city finances — sparking fears of undermining the very system voters created six years ago. Six members of the Community Board for Police Accountability formally oppose the ordinance, arguing it violates the city charter and weakens their independence, especially after years of hard-fought establishment. Council backers say it’s a necessary fix to save 30 jobs and fund police training — and that the OCPA’s budget will stay untouched. But critics warn this sets a dangerous precedent, and the mayor’s vote could decide the fate of Portland’s accountability future.
